HEAVY-DUTY SUSPENSION SERVICE

Ride, Stability & Load Support

KEEP YOUR COMMERCIAL VEHICLE LEVEL, STABLE AND CONTROLLED

SUSPENSION INSPECTION AND REPAIR FOR HEAVY-DUTY TRUCKS, SEMIS AND BUSES

A commercial vehicle’s suspension supports its weight, helps maintain proper ride height and contributes to handling, stability and tire contact with the road.


Heavy loads, high mileage and rough operating conditions can wear suspension components and gradually change how a truck or bus rides and handles.


Bo’s Garage provides suspension inspection, maintenance and repair for Class 6, 7 and 8 trucks, semis and select charter or tour buses.

Signs Your Suspension Needs Attention

CHANGES IN RIDE HEIGHT, HANDLING OR TIRE WEAR CAN SIGNAL A PROBLEM

SUSPENSION WEAR CAN AFFECT STABILITY, COMFORT AND COMPONENT LIFE

Suspension components are designed to support significant weight while absorbing movement from the road. As parts wear, the changes may first appear as an uneven stance, rough ride or unusual tire wear.


Air loss, damaged springs, worn shocks or movement in connecting components can affect how the vehicle carries its load and responds on the road.


An inspection helps identify the source of the concern and determine which components require service.

Excessive bouncing after bumps
A rougher ride than normal
Leaning to one side
Clunking, rattling or movement
Air loss or visible air-bag damage
